Clean butts are healthy butts, especially when it comes to anal sex. Here’s how to improve your anal hygiene and feel confident for anal play.

Unlike the self-cleaning vagina, butts need help when it comes to cleanliness. While anal hygiene can be an awkward topic, having a clean derrière boosts your confidence and health.
